why the CD3 u/s & b/w?

Hello Ladies - saw an RE at New England Fertility yesterday. They don't do mock cycles. MD kind of scoffed at the idea saying they hadn't been done since the 80s, which had me raising an eyebrow, b/c the women on this board certainly do them.

He wants me to come in on CD3 for u/s and b/w, afterwhich I will have a consult.

What are they looking for? FSH, E2 and LH, I know. But at 44 he knows I have a diminished ovarian reserve...r/o possible cyst?

I did the saline u/s. My uterus looks good I am told...

I'm sorry for naive questions!

THANKS!

sounds a bit pompous... some of the best clinics around do mock cycles, it is hardly an obsolete practice. He could have said they don't recommend them because blah blah blah, which is fine, I'm sure he has his reasons.

BTW I did not have a mock cycle and my lining was fine/ successful pg. Now at a different clinic they insist on a mock cycle.

Have you had cysts before? I must say, I am biased b/c I have been to that clinic and I hate them with a passion. I am still a little bitter about jee can you tell. I sometimes wonder if the damn RE there wasn't so concerned with his percentages if my OE cycle he cancelled would have been successfull.

I do wish you the best and hope the testing is purely to help you achieve your dreams and not get new rims for one of the RE's escalade that works there.
